Log:



As night falls on the final day of an excellent beach prom adventure, the staff of Resort Gorgeous usher their guests out onto the beach for one last grand sight to top off the experience. Big, fluffy resort towels have been laid out for people and Pokemon alike to sit on, and locals are off to the sides, handling large and beautiful kites with incredible care. They come in all shapes and sizes, and each depicts a Pokemon you may have seen wandering the shores or swimming in the oceans during your time here. They're incredible works of art all on their own, and as the wind picks up, watching them lift off into the sky becomes an artistic experience in and of itself.

A hush falls over the gathered audience as the kites sail up, up, up into the sky. Small children begin to release lanterns that float up to join them, and the kites dance around them in practiced loops and twirls. In turn, they are illuminated from all angles, a play of shadow and color in the dark, starry night.

But as the show goes on, it starts to become apparent that starlight and lanterns... are not the only things lighting up the night sky.

A growing point of electric blue light that might have been overlooked at first among the rest of the stars becomes brighter and brighter, and bigger and bigger, quickly becoming what is clearly a long and jagged tunnel opening up in the middle of the sky over the island, accompanied by a sound like a clap of thunder.

There's barely enough time to react to the opening of space before, like bees from a hive, ghostly white creatures emerge, at least two dozen of them, drifting serenely down in the direction of the beach-- and, unfortunately, right towards the show, even as the locals gasp in shock and try to pull their kites in.

"What in the world is that?" one person cries out.

"Where did they come from?" shouts another.

But the biggest, most obvious reactions come from the wild Pokemon in the area.

Frightened Wingull take off in enormous clouds from their cliffside nests and scatter to the winds, the sea grows choppy with fish Pokemon of all kinds poking out from the waves to examine the bright light only to splash hurriedly back down, and even the Pyukumuku try to roll themselves back into the ocean, expelling their innards to help pull them across the sand. The landbound wild Pokemon don’t have the ocean or the sky to retreat to, and begin to swarm and stampede in their efforts to either find somewhere to get away from the strange, unnerving creatures...or stand their ground and attempt to fight them. The reaction from the wild Pokemon is so strong, in fact, that the strange creatures seem to panic themselves, jittering this way and that, only for some to get tangled in the strings of the retreating kites. Once ensnared, they start to emit an unsettling cry as they struggle to get free, lashing out with their tentacles at anything that comes near as they come tumbling slowly through the air towards the ground.

It’s chaos on the beach. Some locals try to yank their kites free, or send out their own Pokemon to try and defend themselves. Others run, scooping up children and Pokemon and yelling for others to do the same. Wild Pokemon are flapping and scampering everywhere, so panicky that they’re having a hard time telling friend from foe. The strange creatures are floating all around, lost and fighting with trained and wild Pokemon alike. But the question is...what will you do?


A wild Nihilego appeared!

pfffff, no worries

[tookashirototheknee]

Of course. Let me take care of you for once, ok?

[Matt knows his boyfriend very well. He knows what he's probably thinking and doing right now, so Matt is just going to be there for him.]

Alright. Off we go.

[shiro2hero]

[He nods. Just once. Holding himself tense while his eyes flick out to the sky again.]

Matt.

[He has to say this. Just in case.]

I love you. Okay?

[tookashirototheknee]

[He knows why Shiro's saying it, but he's determined to not let anything happen to either of them.]

I love you too, Shiro. You're my strong, guiding star.

[His hand goes to the necklace that he's still wearing.]

[shiro2hero]

[Nothing should happen. They're both more aware. Both more careful. It won't be like before.]

Brightest in my sky.

[One more deep breath.]

Let's go.

[tookashirototheknee]

Always, Shiro.

[Matt smiles, pulling on his hand just a bit.]

Yeah. Off we go.

[shiro2hero]

[That's all it takes. That little tug. It puts his feet back into motion, stepping up to Matt's side.]

[They're going to face this with each other. This time.]

[tookashirototheknee]

[If Matt had anything to say about it, they'd always be together, always fighting alongside each other, always there for whatever they need.]

[For now, though, he'll just be happy pulling Shiro off to find Kuro.]

[shiro2hero]

[That wouldn't be a bad situation. Or something he'd protest. Maybe another time they can talk about that.]

[But now they have to get to where Kuro, in his Mega Evolved form, is throwing rocks at the approaching Nihilego.]
